"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe filled with slush"~ Doug Larson
For
those of us in the Northeast (and other areas of the country too, I
hear) it has seemed like a never-ending winter...days of bitter cold and
snow followed by more bitter cold and snow. But now the hint that
spring may be on its way...a few blades of grass have become visible
under the graying snowbanks. Somehow the turning of the calendar to
March leads us to shift ourselves to the possibility of renewal. The
promise of spring, with later sunsets, birds songs in the morning,
crocuses bravely waking up from their winter slumber to meet the sun,
are all reminders of the impermanence of nature and even with a shoe
full of slush there is reason to take a breath and be grateful for
renewals.
